basted, like a turkey

completed quilt top! or so i thought until i realized i'd need one more row to make 14, so that the case would have more overlap, thus allowing for the later velcro flap to be useful:and the batting is basted in! the quilt bottom is just a sheet of the gold and silver stripe fabric that make up the zigzags. i used 4 ply of thin quilt batting because laptop sleeves have to be padded! and might i note that quilting safety pins are an amazing invention. they are really just very bent safety pins. however, when you try to force a pin through that much batting, it is amazing to have the pin direct itself back up to the surface effortlessly!
